Raina Telgemeier's #1 New York Times bestselling, Eisner Award-winning graphic memoir based on her childhood!

Raina just wants to be a normal sixth grader. But one night after Girl Scouts she trips and falls, severely injuring her two front teeth. What follows is a long and frustrating journey with on-again, off-again braces, surgery, embarrassing headgear, and even a retainer with fake teeth attached. And on top of all that, there's still more to deal with: a major earthquake, boy confusion, and friends who turn out to be not so friendly.

A really great graphic novel. I enjoyed reading it, I loved the art and story. I have already read it several times. Definitely recommend to 5th+ grade readers.

This is an awesome book!! I rember reading this in the third grade book fair. I got it to help me to get ready for my braces. I'll recommend it to anyone who is looking for a nice, fun, and quickly read.

Raina has to get braces, but it gets even worse when she falls and damages her top two front teeth. after that, Raina is sent on a whirlwind adventure full of dentistry, friends, and former friends, new schools and even an earthquake.
